I wanted to pass my wishes to all of you!!!

I dont know how you wish to someone to have a nice month in English but we usually say "kalo mina" (=have a nice month), "kali prwtomagia" (=have a nice 1st of May)!

Today is a lovely day to celebrate the Spring! In Cyprus is holiday...but here in UK everybody works...

Did anybody made a Spring wreath? We call it May wreath and we usually give flowers to people today!!!
